    Better get TWO Indian tacos today, just to settle your nerves. Or get none to save for your deductible. That doesn't look like much fun.

    Yeah, left me standing on just the heads of the sheet metal screws on the 12/12 portion above the deck. That rafter length was 22' and I was about half way down when the hook slipped. The reason the hook moved is because the backside is only a 5/12.

    I knew it was shitty going up, but didn't know how bad until I reached the top. Only thing that kept the hook from coming off was the friction created by my weight. Hook slipped on my way down. Oh yeah, no gutter to secure the ladder, and it was gusting wind the whole time.

    Nah, I just had to rely solely on my shoes not slipping off the screws while I reset the hook.

    What i should have done was shot a leader over the roof and pulled my rope over to tie to a tree. I've got a sling shot and leader material, but I've never taken the time to set everything up and figure out what works. That's on the list now.

    Must have been tough to maintain a foothold with shit running down your legs to the roof.
